"First of all, Rajnath Singh should tell, why he went to meet Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur and Lt. Colonel Prasad Purohit in jail, who were arrested in terror activities," said the Congress leader.

The reaction came after the Bharatiya Janata Party`s (BJP) newly elected president condemned union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde`s statement on "Hindu terror" and announced a nationwide protest from Thursday.
